"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Eccl. 10:2, NIV. God has spoken. To the right is wisdom, honor, strength, and truth. To the left is...not. I know which way my heart leans. How about yours?

Ding! Dong! The Commie's Gone!

You read that right. Van Jones, Obama's green jobs czar, resigned today amid protestations that he was the victim of a "viscious smear campaign". Apparently, Jones considers it a smear for his radicalism to be exposed to the public. Yet, Obama himself said we should judge him by the kind of people he surrounds himself with, so shouldn't we know who those people are? Shouldn't we know that Van Jones is a self-professed communist, harbors deep resentment against White people, believes America is an imperialist country, sympathizes with Muslims, and suspects that 9/11 was an inside job? How is it a "viscious smear" to tell the American people this?

The job of a "czar" doesn't require the same vetting process as other positions in the White House. In fact, I don't think it requires any vetting process at all. And, as I understand it, a "czar" answers only to the president. That makes it all the more crucial that these "czars" are investigated by the media. The American people have a right to know who has the president's ear. If that person is a radical like Van Jones, they have to go. That's not a smear campaign, viscious or otherwise. That's the American people keeping control over their own country.

All politicians, including Obama, work for us, the people. We don't want communists telling the president what to do. We don't want radicals of any sort "advising" the chief executive. Van Jones is only the first "czar" to be vetted by the public after not being vetted by the Obama White House. The other "czars" need to be on notice; they're next. They will be questioned. They will be investigated. And if they are radicals like Jones they will be ousted, too.

America belongs to we, the people, not to radicals who sympathize with our enemies. Those people belong in the gutter not the government. Maybe now Obama realizes that and will ditch any other scum he has working for him. If not, he should prepare for a long, hot autumn.
